The idea is to appeal to millennials who are increasingly putting off marriage.
The Diamond Producers Association has debuted its new “Real Is Rare” advertising campaign directed at millennials, and it stands in stark contrast from campaigns of the past.
You can watch two commercials in the campaign below.
AdWeek notes that these two spots feature couples whose “romances follow non-traditional trajectories.” They each feature couples who’ve had critical moments of uncertainty in their relationships.
The idea is to appeal to millennials who are increasingly putting off marriage. As AdWeek explains, the campaign “positions real diamonds as the truest symbols of a deep emotional commitment between two young people … even if that bond isn’t made official in the eyes of the law.”
The first video portrays a couple who ran away together after their first date — as the male narrator explains, “first to my apartment, then to Thailand, eventually to a third-floor walkup.”
The second commercial follows a couple who broke up and then got back together. The female narrator still isn’t sure whether they’ll ever get married.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless
When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time.
"We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them.
Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
